Ordering Translations from TextMaster Using Templates

If you have an existing account with TextMaster, you'll be able to use Project Templates when placing translation orders. Templates are reusable sets of order preferences that you create in TextMaster. These preferences include language pairs, quality level, preferred translators, and more.

In TextMaster, head to the API and Loop page. (You can also get there by hovering over the Lightning icon in the main navigation and clicking on API & Loop.)

In the left box, click on Manage my API templates.

Click on NEW API TEMPLATE.

Give your template a name, add any special instructions you may have, then choose your settings for this template. Note that each template only works with a single language pair, e.g. English (US) to French.

Repeat Steps 3 and 4 for every language you plan to translate to.

When creating templates for use with Transifex, you should leave Auto-Launch disabled. Otherwise, your template won't show up in the Order Wizard.

Once you submit your order, TextMaster will calculate the final word count and price for your order, taking into account any Translation Memory you may have. After the calculations are done, we'll send you an email with the final word count and price.

Once you've placed an order, you'll be able to track its progress inside the Orders page, which is accessible from the main navigation. On this page, you also be able to see order details such as price, words, and languages. You can also filter orders by their status.

If a template you've created in TextMaster isn't appearing inside the Transifex order wizard, there are a few things you can check:

Check to make sure the source language of your project matches the source language of your template. If, for example, you're translating from English, your project's source language should either be English (US) or English (UK), not generic English.

Check whether Auto-launch is enabled for that template. If so, go to Extra Settings in the template and disable it.
